Our Fun Fun Winter is melting away. . .

The snow is melting and the sun is warming the earth - only light jackets needed lately. However, we sure had fun in the snow while it was here. The pile next to our driveway became larger and larger as the season went on, shoveling and shoveling and shoveling. So Hana and I went outside and she assisted me in making a fun snow fort (she patted the snow down inside the fort - she was an awesome helper).
We brought the kids little chairs out to sit in it and play for a little while. Conrad was sleeping when we made it, so he was very surprised when he came outside. The roof is made from some extra window screens we had lying around. (Note Conrad's pink hand-me-down snow pants from Hana - who actually got them as a hand-me-down from Sara - good times :))

It was a very good winter this year. Beautiful, fresh snow every week, and sometimes every other day. Tuff to drive in all the time, but way better than the previous years with no snow for a weeks and a smoggy inversion settling in the valley. We had many blue skies this winter, awesome. And now - I love the warm sun and the bright beginnings of spring.
